I also see smoke as a way to find enemy positions, most likely snipers. In other games for example we'd set up a spotter with a sniper and throw a smoke grenade in the middle of crossroads, as if we were going to conceal our movement. We'd throw something like an ammo bag or some C-4 into the smoke and the spotters would look out for a snipers bullet trail. Sniper then gets taken out by our sniper and we proceed; needless to say smoke has a multitude of uses.
